SEC Cancels Digital-Asset Regulation Meeting Amid Scheduling Issues

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has canceled its public meeting to discuss digital-asset regulation, citing 'unexpected scheduling issues'.

The meeting was scheduled for August 14, and the agenda included a discussion of a separate securities issuance framework for investment contracts tied to certain digital assets.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins previously stated that the agency was prepared to craft its own digital-asset rules if the Senate does not pass the Clarity Act.
